He said Garba was abducted by suspected kidnappers
and dumped at Njimtilo area in Maiduguri about 5 p.m.
on Saturday.
Abdullahi said that the victim, who is from Yobe,
resides at Kasuwar Grain area in Potiskum.
“At about 14:00 our personnel on routine checks along
Njimtilo, spotted a young boy who was said to have
been abducted, indoctrinated and dumped by suspected
kidnappers.
“‘Suspecting his movement, our personnel call the
victim and questioned him. It was then he showed
them his ID card proving he is a student from El-
kanemi Islamic College of Theology (EICT).
“‘At first the boy looked very confused and did not
know what he was doing or even were he was. It was
later that he gained his senses consciousness and we
called his father.
“‘The victim said all he knew was that he entered a
commercial vehicle at Borno Express junction going to
town when he no longer knew what was going on and
was surprised to see himself in Njimtilo.
“‘The victim said that the last thing he recalled was that
white powder was sprayed inside the vehicle by one of
the passengers, it was then he lost consciousness.’’
Abdullahi said ‘‘the suspects must have changed plans
when they saw that they couldn’t penetrate the security
checkpoint at Njimtilo and decided to release the victim
and run away.
“‘From the description he gave, we suspected that they
were ritualists who were trying to kidnap human beings.
“‘We, therefore, caution residents of the state to be
wary of entering into any type of commercial vehicles
and tricycles.
“People must always watch out for proper registration
and number plates to avoid being a victim,’’ Abdullahi
said. (NAN)
